A terrorist?

I do not believe there is any evidence whatsoever that Rachel Corrie was a terrorist or that she was involved in smuggling. I find the claim that she was "accidentally" run over by an armored bulldozer to be absurd.

How anyone could possibly believe after all this time that the Palestians have been given a fair deal is utterly beyond comprehension. Israel is an occupying power with overwhelming military superiority. They have ignored the United Nations for years while claiming more and more Palestianian land and water. They obviously do not want a viable Palestianian state and have done everything they can to prevent one.

I was very much in favor of the creation of Israel and was for many years very pro-Israel. I am sorry to say they have lost my respect many times over. If they truly want peace (which I no longer believe) they can achieve it by ending their illegal occupation.

I want to see peace in the Middle East. Israel is the biggest single obstacle to that end, and has been for years. Neither Iranians nor Arabs are any more intrinsically "evil" than anyone else. If you want to see the true face of evil take a look at Dick Cheney.

There is more and more talk of impeachment, more and more calls for Rumsfeld the Incompetent to resign. If these people had even one shred of decency they would all resign now. They obviously do not have the interests of the American people or our nation in mind.
